Engagement SNEAK PEAK!

Nothing fun but work and wedding planning this week. In lieu of an event pictures, I will give you a sneak peak at our engagement shoot this past week. We have a fabulous photographer, Ashley, from Elizabeth Ashley & Co. and I had a wonderful make up artist, Tanisha from In God's Image Make Up. Both will be there on the wedding day so it just made our engagement shoot more special. The images ARE watermarked at this time ( so do not steal them and remove the watermark) and I will post more pictures without the watermark when I get the rest next week. 

Our engagement shoot was done at UNC- Chapel Hill around campus where we first met. 

 Luna even got to be a part of our session!

Rex Knightdale Triathlon

As you know, Braxton and I really enjoy the sport of Triathlon. Usually we time it so one person is support and the other person is racing, however today we both got to race and cheer each other on. Both of us came in 4th in our age group and I beat my goal time by 2 minutes. The best part about today was winning a free pair of $160 running shoes. Heck yes door prizes!

Next race is in 2 weeks so can't start slacking yet.

 The transition area is all set up!

 Running towards the finish line!

As Braxton says, "The couple that Tris together, thrives together."

Labor Day Weekend with the Kinsey Family

Labor Day weekend Braxton and I went on a special vacation with his family to Carolina Beach, NC. Not only did we get lucky with a Tropical Storm skidding right around the coast bringing 0% humidity, but we had nice waves and great company. We also got to spend time with Braxton's Aunt Vivian who lives in Wilmington. What a fun time soaking up the sun and eating yummy food. 

Carowinds Run and Ride

As many of your know, I have the pleasure of volunteering with a great group of young adults, the Raleigh Jaycees. Prior to all of the fall frenzy of volunteering (Turkey Shoot, Wine Festival, Turkey Baskets, Goodfellows) We decided to take a group trip organized by moi to Carowinds Run and Ride for a 5k race followed by a day of roller coasters. Overall it was a great day to see Jaycee friends, Charlotte friends, and Mitch. I also came in third in my age group. Yay!

CJ + Jon Reception - Mahwah, NJ

This past weekend I got the pleasure of celebrating the marriage of one of my best friends, Caitlin to her husband Jon,  in New Jersey with some of my closest friends and sisters. CJ (as she is most fondly known) and Jon were wed in New Zealand (where CJ is in grad school, Jon is deployed in Bahrain currently) this past January and we got the pleasure of celebrating with them and their families this past weekend. Sadly, I wish I had taken more pictures, especially of Kaitlyn and Evan's baby Ethan, but these will have to do!
